The camera has a 4.3-inch display that on these pictures displays the Android Jelly Bean with Samsungs TouchWiz. The camera should feature a Exynos 4 Quad-Core-Processor with 2 GB RAM and 8 or 16 GB built-in storage (you can chose one or another). It has a 20.3 Megapixel APS-C sensor, records 1080p Full HD. Price should be around 1.000 Euro.

This is going to be an interesting development, depending on how much access to the camera app developers will have, this could be huge!
Am I interested in it? No, ergonomics don't look great in that you will have to use the LCD to change most settings since there is 1 dial & maybe 3 buttons, plus the M mount lens issues, and its a bigger camera than I'm looking for right now, and I do have my heart set on a FF as my next camera.

More interesting if Cyanogenmod supports it so we can ditch Samsung's buggy, slow and lousy TouchWiz UI for Android.

That said, looks more than a little interesting. This is exactly what Samsung needs to be doing with the NX line to make it interesting. Oh, and it better have an SD card slot.

Well much of the success Samsung has had with the Galaxy smart phones is down to large high quality LCD screens, so they must have decided that they need to carry that over into this camera if they target the same user base. And if you are going to include a large LCD screen then that doesn't leave any room for physical controls unfortunately. For people in this forum this is obviously a loss - in fact one of the things that I like about my NX200 is that it has better controls than its Sony and Olympus counterparts and has a nice twin-dial setup. However I think if the idea is to attract Smart Phone users then this may be the right strategy for them.

Conclusion - The Bad
•Slightly clunky and sometimes laggy camera app
•Camera parameters reset to defaults after re-start
•Incompatible with most current camera capture apps
•No ability to place phone calls and no front-facing camera
•Ocassionally slow to wake up from stand-by mode and switching to/from camera app
•Switching between camera and other apps makes lens extract and retract every time
•Panorama mode produces more than average stitching errors ...Show more →

I am sure they fix some of these bugs but again buttons are preferrable for manual ctrl.

Not that it matters much, but that is one unattractive-looking camera. It's as if the product designers at Samsung slipped a mickey to a Minolta 9Xi and Richo GX-R's battery packs, pushed them into a darkroom together and gleefully watched on CCT to see which camera body would get randy more quickly, subsequently mount and begin humping the other first.

I can see the Minolta fumbling around in the dark, with its AF-assist beam.

Changing EV compensation looks to be a pain while looking through the EVF, at best it's a responsive touch pad with no tactile feedback, at worst, you have to take your eye off the subject to change it.
I'd prefer some buttons and a dial or two, I'd even take a smaller screen, even though the screen could be awesome.

One cool feature, will be synchronizing multiple cameras for effects like "Bullet Time" through some app and Wi-Fi.

Most importantly: does it take a sim card? Can I also use it as a phone/tablet? It would nice to call my wife and send emails while shooting.
Yes according to this:http://youtu.be/tBtNsRwBV0s
Not so sure about phone calls, maybe with Bluetooth headset.
From the DPR link above:despite 4G connectivity you cannot place a phone call with the 'stock' Galaxy NX. Apps like Skype will let you do that

It's kind of a shame. I've been reviewing the NX300 for the past couple weeks and it's got one of the best touch + physical interfaces I've used. Sad to see that excellent work go by the wayside.
I'm still waiting for the rumoured retro NX.
Do you have a link to your NX300 review?
